Affordable tuition and a practical degree are necessary, but they're not enough. You also want a campus where you can be yourself.

Residence Life
Order pizza. Watch a movie. Spend time with people you care about. Life on campus is just that – life. It’s your schedule. Whatever makes campus home - whether you’re looking for high-energy hang outs or chill time to relax - you’ll find your new normal here at Cumberlands. Get ready for your new home away from home with our dorm tours!

Clubs & Organizations
College is your place to try something new. It is a blank slate where you have the freedom to try new things or enjoy the old. Take a chance and join a new club, or continue pursuing an interest you already had. The possibilities are endless, with more than 40 clubs and organizations to join, there’s something for everyone!
Dining Options
Between studying and sleeping, dining options are a top priority for an incoming college student. UC students have plenty to choose from when hunger strikes: Chick-fil-A and Habaneros over in the Boswell Campus Center, the TJ Roberts Dining Hall for a buffet of homestyle foods, Pete’s Eats attached to the Cumberland Inn for your gameday favorites, and three locations of the ever-so-essential Cumberland River Coffee. Explore the hours, menus, and more that will fuel your education and experience at UC.


Campus Activity Board (CAB)
Students involved with CAB help plan activities like concerts, comedians, live entertainment, ice cream socials, paint festivals and water slides for their fellow students. CAB members always have an endless amount of school spirit. If you love an exciting social life, making other people happy or just dancing to your own music, then CAB is for you.
Faith in Action
The University of the Cumberlands strives to be an institution that consistently puts faith into action. Our faith is demonstrated through humble service to our local community and the Appalachian region. Just as Christ modeled and encouraged servant leadership, UC inspires and equips students to do the same through various ministries and outreach activities.
